As a startup, my company has limited resources to find and hire the best candidates. We tried the traditional route of posting our job requirements on the regular sites. Three months later and hours of time reviewing resumes, we weren’t having much luck. I contacted SS&C with a few resumes and quickly had some great candidates to interview. After that initial success, SS&C was able to fill two other rather diverse roles. Again, we got quick results and filled the two slots quickly with great candidates. SS&C was fast and effective at filling our needs - well worth the engagement.
Mark Clifton, CEO/President
Princeton Identity, IncI had the opportunity to work with Joe Vona Jr. and SS&C on an open position of VP of Sales for the U.S. Joe and the SS&C team did a great job in qualifying high quality professionals in the industry that met the criteria that we had set forth for the position. SS&C introduced us to a host of professionals who were all very capable of fulfilling the requirements and we were able to make a great hiring decision. Joe and his team were responsive in returning calls, getting information when asked, and working with a professional sense of urgency. I consider SS&C to be a strategic partner in the future growth of our company.
President & CEO
Major Security Equipment ManufacturerAmong our top business decisions, we chose to partner with SS&C and had them spearhead our search for a VP of Global Sales & Marketing. The level of service provided by SS&C was exceptional. Through our discussions Joe and his team identified quality candidates whose credentials mirrored our needs. The end result being our company’s hire of a dynamic sales leader and visionary who we would not have found had we not teamed with SS&C. When seeking “the best of the best” we know we can depend upon Joe Vona, Jr and the SS&C team for executive level placements.

Chief Executive Officer
Security CompanyFinding a CEO for 3xlogic was a significant responsibility, and making the right hire proved to be a difficult task. Our partnership with SS&C helped us succeed in our search, and we hired a new CEO that is leading the charge and helping us maintain our lead in the industry. The SS&C team worked efficiently to make the hire, providing quality work with the best possible outcome.
Dennis Law, President
3xlogicHaving a sensitive & urgent search for a CEO on our hands, and having had mediocre results with other firms, we were referred to Joe Vona Sr. Through a very efficient and proactive process, Joe did initial and then continuous clarification of our needs as candidates were sourced, screened and vetted by both Joe and the Board. Joe actively solicited feedback from the Board after each interview and provided recommendations based on very critical observations of the candidates' fit. Joe exceeded our expectations, delivered highly qualified candidates and facilitated closure and hire earlier than the estimated timeframe. We were and continue to be highly satisfied with our hire -- a testament to a rigorous and effective hiring process.
